South Park featuring U2 tomorrow night

[nbelcik]

Looks like our boys are gonna be featured in South Park's holiday special tomorrow night. I'm sure most people know about the last time South Park brought up U2...Here's a link to the video: https://twitter.com/southpark/status/542396322540560385

Just what we all needed.

They don't do abstract metaphors on this show anymore. Instead of writing a tenuously related plot that indirectly draws parallels to current events, Matt and Trey just throw a celebrity out there and mock them for 20 minutes. It's so obvious and unfunny.

But I would have been fucking thrilled about this years ago.

Yeah, the quality of the show has dipped heavily in recent years because of their focus on just mocking celebrities, rather than plot. I pine for the days of episodes like "Woodland Critter Christmas." Now it seems like literally every episode is mocking a particular celebrity and it's just so tired and played out.

They're hit and miss. The recent grounded vindaloop episode was good. They're mocking of Lorde has been pretty funny actually.

 

[Arcadion]

Hopefully they mock all the unappreciative self-entitled brats out there. That would be nice.

The last episode of the show that I loved (and one of my favorites in the show's entire run) is the episode about Stan realizing that he's getting older. It was a great meta reference to Matt and Trey getting sick of the show. I wish they had just ended it right there because it would have been a perfectly depressing send off.

Instead, they just ignored the one good moment of character development they had managed in years and moved on like it never happened.

I think the last really good celebrity flaying they did was the Fishsticks episode with Kanye. That shit was pretty funny.

This season has been phenomenal

 

[U2girl]

Is that supposed to be Larry ? And they're having a 2005 era looking (I mean biggest shit) Bono next to the others.

 

[corianderstem]

Yeah, their drawing of Larry made me laugh.

 

[YBORCITY]

Should be interesting ...... wth with the Angelina scene?

 

[Galeongirl]

We get them a week or so later I think, shall keep an eye out.

Oh noes!

 

[corianderstem]

Well, they got Adam's new floofy hair right, you'd think they could update Bono.

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

Cartman brah

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

That was dumb.

Good season, terrible finale

 

[Arcadion]

What did they do with u2?

 

[Catman]

I actually really enjoyed that episode--liked how the whole season had an ongoing story arc w/ the characters. Loved Bill Cosby singing "Baby It's Cold Outside" w/ Taylor Swift lol

What did they do with u2?

It was weird--the only mention of U2 was in the brief teaser we've already seen.

That part was quite good... As was Randy's confession that he was actually Lorde.

To be honest I was distracted why watching so I may have to rewatch

 

[Martinski]

U2 was only featured for like 1 second, they said they were gonna be part of some christmas special. But they were never shown later in it.

 

[mikal]

What I really wanted out of this was for U2 to deliver gifts to people's houses and then show the families complaining that U2 invaded their privacy.

Missed opportunity there.

they aren't even relevant enough to be made fun of properly on south park anymore.

Which, if you ask a crazy person, is South Park's fault.

and LOLed at the Bono reference.

 

[Galeongirl]

Saw this ep on sunday, we're indeed a week behind... found it a bit dissappointing tbh.
